Kayenta – an incredible community in the Utah Desert

This documentary takes an in-depth look at this community and what makes it so unique. Explore the architectural techniques & thought process that went into creating this 500+ home community.

The story is about an 80 year old man who pioneered desert modern architecture in the southern Utah area since the late 70s. He is a very special man who never cared about money in his life but rather spent his entire adult creating an artist community that respected the desert.

The Kayenta community, in southern Utah’s red rock country, is a tranquil enclave surrounded by protected lands.

A 2,000 acre master planned community of fine homes, custom building sites and community amenities, is located 7 miles west of St. George, Utah. Kayenta is a unique departure from the norm, focused on moderate land use, moderate-sustainable growth, and an appreciation for our magnificent natural setting. Nearby, residents find adventure in the southwest’s abundance of places to explore.

Zion National Park, Snow Canyon and Bryce Canyon National Park are within view. While just beyond the horizon, adventure seekers will discover places like the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Las Vegas.
